Wilderness Survival; Thursday, Second Period [01/06]..
If he was completely honest, Gladio was a little bummed that it seemed to have warmed up a little bit and they'd apparently just be missing some snow, if the weather report was to be believed, because snow would have made for a great first class. But he knew that was the nature of the beast, and adapting based on weather was a huge part of the topic at hand, so he'll just be glad that the kids would get an easy one to start out with, good for them.
But they'd have received instructions to meet outside the school, dressed appropriately for the weather, but, if anyone failed to do that, he'd had extra hats and gloves in his pack. It was a pretty small class, though, so hopefully he didn't have to wait too long before they seemed to be all accounted for and he clapped his hands together to get their attention.
"Alright!" he barked, but cheerfully. "Welcome to Wilderness Survival, a class where I hope you like the great outdoors, because we're going to be spending a lot of time out here!" Right at the beginning of winter, too, you lucky, lucky bastards! "My name's Gladio Amicitia, and I'm one of those obnoxious people that actually likes sleeping on the cold hard ground with nothing but a thin bubble of vinyl protecting me from the elements, and this class definitely isn't aiming to get you to be one of those people for yourself, but I do hope to make it at least a little easier for you when you are out there roughing. Just, you know," he shot them a grin, "not too easy.
"Today's going to be pretty simple to start," he said, "mostly so I can get an idea of who I'm working with here. We're heading out into the preserve; I've got the trail marked out so just follow me, until we hit the old campgrounds they've got out there. Once there, we're going to start in on an essential skill at the heart of every camping experience: building a fire. So I hope you're ready to get moving, and that you've brought appropriate shoes, because you're going to probably really be wishing you had by the end of it."
He clapped his hands together again, spun a finger in the air, and pointed in the direction of the preserve before he started walking.
"Let's go!"
